Title: What do you Call Your bike? Post by Tonydtiger1971 on 09/20/09 at 13:07:01 Whether it was a regional thing or something that was done back in the days but everyone I knew back driving their muscle cars and motorcycles named them. I haven't heard anyone talk about naming their car or motorcycle in about 15 years, so do people still to that? |

Post by Boule’tard on 09/20/09 at 15:06:04 Hmm let's see: *overly sensitive to fuel mixture *often sputters in a small aircraft sort of way *fires like a machine gun on occasion It can be none other than the "Sopwith Camel" :D Note the heat shield, I got the idea from a Mossberg 590. http://i35.tinypic.com/9vkvw3.jpg |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by drharveys on 09/20/09 at 15:28:17 When the economy improves and I stop being so cheap, I'll get the custom license plate "BOSO" Then I'd have a boso-suzuki! (Bosozuki "street samurai" -- mostly teens on rice rockets with straight pipes.) |

Sure Gerald, my pleasure. The heat shield is made from a 2in diameter piece of stainless pipe, drilled, sandblasted, and painted in ROCCO-APPROVED flat black :D http://i34.tinypic.com/28vu1x1.jpg I cut the pipe lengthwise with a band saw so that the cross section is a "C" shape, then lined each end of the shield with about 1/8in thick copper. The copper strips keep the shield off the pipe, and the soft metal won't damage the chrome. I stuck the copper on with a JBweld-like compound. There are no straps or clamps. It just takes a firm push, and the "C" shape keeps it on. http://i38.tinypic.com/nxtj68.jpg Here's the zombie blaster where I got the idea. The shield and hole diameters are in about the same proportion, though I changed the hole pattern a little. http://i38.tinypic.com/2i9k29x.jpg Hope that inspires someone to cook up their own one-off bit of bike bling. :) |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by Savage_Amusement on 09/20/09 at 20:37:17 My bike doesn't have a name yet, but the gas tank does. It is called Fail tank, because what should have taken a few weeks to build and get sealed up and painted and everything took almost 6 months. |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by kimchris1 on 09/21/09 at 03:22:43 I named my bike Genie. The Gene is after my dad whom would have been so proud of me for achieving my goal of getting my endorsement and riding. I added the ie as my bike is a girl and so figured it would sound better being called Genie. I had dreamed of owning her for some time so that fits as well.... :) :) |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by mornhm on 09/21/09 at 11:34:47 "Sanddammit" I orginally thought it was the color, but then I figured out it was the name. Take a look at 2005 Concours for further information. |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by PerrydaSavage on 09/21/09 at 14:42:09 http://nlbiker.com//b4after/P3.jpg Initially I referred to my '05 LS as One Lung, but a friend re-christened her Iron Lung while we were discussing my 600km Ride in rain and freezing temps to fetch and bring her home from her original owner ... the moniker stuck ... literally! 8-) |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by Southpaw on 09/21/09 at 19:29:56 When it's keeping up with the "big boys" on a long run I call it "The Great White". When it's acting up in damp weather when I'm trying to get home from work it's "Now listen up cueball!" |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by JustPassinThru on 09/21/09 at 22:12:31 Haven't found a name for it, yet. Which for me is odd...I'm in the habit of naming my vehicles. Years ago, I had Blazing Saddles, my '73 Pinto Squire wagon from Texas...eight years old when I got it; and it saw me through the bad economy of that time. Later, I had Enko-San, my Geo Metro..."Enko" is Japanese for "Stalled Car" and the -san is a Japanese courtesy..."Honorable Stalled Car." I still own Eugene the Jeep...though he's in retirement in a storage unit somewhere, until I find either a buyer or the interest to attend to his many needs. These days, my cage is Moby, my "mini"-van...the Great Red Whale. But, no name has come to me regarding my Savage. |

The Chevy Nova didnt sell well in Mexico No in Spanish? Yep, thats NO, Va? Thats GO.. So, who will run out & buy a No Go? |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by ALfromN.H. on 09/22/09 at 12:09:17 I guess Thumper is most common name for our bikes. Maybe I'll have to change it's name. http://p1.bikepics.com/pics/2006/10/22/bikepics-707176-800.jpg |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by Tonydtiger1971 on 09/22/09 at 14:51:05 That one is not near as scary as the previous one. LOL The name for my motorcycle is Mimi. :) |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by FreeSpirit on 09/22/09 at 15:28:30 And tell us why Tony. how you came about picking that name. :) |
|
Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by gerald.hughes on 09/22/09 at 15:54:17 Tony is obviously an opera lover. Mimi would also be my first choice. |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by prsavage on 09/22/09 at 22:03:57 I call mine the Beast. Eventually I will get a 1mm oversize piston for it so that the engine will match the name. |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by boofer on 09/22/09 at 22:58:29 Note to wife last week: "Gone to air out Suzi. Back in an hour." I guess that's it. I actually don't need to call her anything--I just whistle and she comes arollin'. Boofer |
|
Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by Angie on 09/23/09 at 12:41:07 I KNEW I wasnt the only one to name a bike! When I told my kids I'd named not only my bike but hubby's Sportster my 10 year old looked at me and said "Do you need therapy?" Probably. My '99 Savage is Suzie Q. The Sportster is Belle. You know, from "Beauty and the Beast", cause she's both. LOL Where did I put that therapist number anyway? Humm.... |
|
Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by serenity3743 on 09/23/09 at 13:17:52 I have several "choice" names for my bike when I break a bolt or strip a bolt head. But mostly she's "the motorcycle" or Suzi. |

Title: Re: What do you Call Your bike? Post by Bryan on 09/23/09 at 18:04:06 I call mine Eaglebird, after the song by the North Mississippi Allstars, and I think it's funny. :D |
